Chemical Structure

2,4-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid CAS 344281-05-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2,4-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 2,4-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid (CAS 344281-05-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12Cl2O3, MW 323.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2,4-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 323.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
